"Give it up, Kid! I've got you now!" Hakuba smirked, stepping in front of the Kid as the thief attempted to escape, the necklace clutched in one hand.
"You've said that before!" The Kid retorted with a cheerful grin.
"But this time, I've got a surprise for you!" With that, the blond detective pulled a fish from behind his back and waved it at the Kid. "Ha!"
The Kid stared at him with a perplexed expression. "Nice... fish? That's a herring, isn't it?"
"Anchovy, actually, yeah..." Hakuba blinked, taken back. "Wait! Why aren't you running screaming?"
"Evil Overlord's Handbook." The Phantom Thief grinned as he pulled out a small little black book out of seemingly nowhere and held it up. "Number 220."
"220?" Hakuba lunged forward and grabbed it out of the Kid's gloved hand, dropping the fish in the process. The monocled boy laughed as he began to flip through the pages of the small book, tossing him a suspicious look. "You're trying to become an evil overlord now?"
The kaitou shrugged gamely, smiling easily. "Naw, but it's got some good ideas in there."
"Number 29," Hakuba read out loud. "'I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies into confusion.' I do have to admit it works."
"Thank you." The Kid gave him a slight mock bow. "Pity for Nakamori-kun he's never read it or I'd have a harder time infiltrating his headquarters."
"Found it. Number 220." An eyebrow rose in astonishment as he read it. "'Whatever my one vulnerability is, I will fake a different one. For example, ordering all mirrors removed from the palace, screaming and flinching whenever someone accidentally holds up a mirror, etc. In the climax when the hero whips out a mirror and thrusts it at my face, my reaction will be "Hmm...I think I need a shave."' You're kidding right?"
The Kid responded from behind him, causing him to startle. "Nope." With a quick motion, the Kid stole his book back and began trotting back down the hall. "Later, Saguru-kun!"
"Dammit!" Hakuba cursed as he realized that he'd just been distracted at a vital point in the capture, resulting in yet another failure. He glared down at the fish, which was still on the floor out of harms reach. "Bet he really is afraid of fish." He muttered.

-or at least can fake not being afraid of fish long enough to get away. ^^;; Maybe. Dunno.
